No, you're not stupid and that's not what I posted. You obviously lack knowledge of legally-mandated accounting standards applicable to publicly held companies and thus have advanced a conspiracy-laden agenda.

I couldn't care less if you take it seriously. I'm not going to write a treatise on FASB rules and US securities laws in a vain attempt to convince the uninformed that all WN has done here is to follow required accounting conventions and US law. Not when a small segment of the audience has already accused WN management of violating those rules and laws. Some knowlege of financial accounting and US securities laws would serve you well.

"Semi-manipulated." That says it all.
I agree with much of this paragraph. You lack knowledge of financial accounting and securities laws (more than just "the market") and you obviously possess details of the labor negotiations that I do not.
Good luck with your labor negotiations. But heaven help the represented groups if your negotiators share any of your beliefs that you have posted in this thread.
